Rapper MI Abaga has opened up about getting married at age 41 and all the circumstances that led to him getting married at that age.
During an interview on the Jay On Air Podcast, he discussed feeling a twinge of regret around the age of 37, as he compared his life to that of his friends who had married in their mid-to-late twenties and were now raising teenagers.
However, he said his outlook changed dramatically when he met his wife just before turning 40, shortly after ending a previous relationship.
According to MI Abaga, his journey to marriage taught him that everyone has their unique timeline, and that being ready is crucial for a successful relationship.

He said:
“I felt a little bad about being unmarried when I was 37 because my friends who got married at 25,26 now have 14-year-old kids. I have friends who have kids who are going off to college now and some of them who didn’t marry had kids early. Jesse has a 21-year-old child and I don’t have any kids of my own yet, so I miss out on some of that.
“No complaints because I got the opportunity to meet this beautiful woman who I’m married to now and I really see some Providence In that. At the end of the day, when you’re not ready you’re not ready. Everybody’s timeline is different and this is something that is lost in humanity today.

“Within my timeline, it just so happened that I had left a relationship around age 39 and met my wife around 40. She was there at my 40th birthday; at that point I was ready, so I asked her to marry me, and we got married when I was 41”.
Reflecting on his past relationships, MI Abaga acknowledged his own immaturity and stubbornness, expressing appreciation for the kind-hearted women he had encountered.
“I have sadness when I think about how I was in my former relationships. Met a lot of kind women in my life who were supportive of me. I just wasn’t mature, and I was stubborn,” he said.
